This paper uses the travel cost method to estimate the recreational value of the glacier tourism resources of Yulong Snow Mountain(also called Jade Dragon Snow Mountain), which is the most developed glacier tourist attraction in China. First-hand information was obtained through field surveys, and the travel costs of visitors visiting the Yulong Snow Mountain glacier were calculated before the method was applied to evaluate the recreational value of the focal glacier resource. The results show that the Yulong Snow Mountain consumer surplus associated with its glacier resources in 2016 ranged from 645.59-3439.10 million CNY, and the total recreational value ranged from 1.97-8.17 billion CNY. Approaches allocating travel costs across multiple recreational sites, however, can vary, and there is large difference in estimated results depending on used approaches. Nevertheless, the results of the analysis can help understand the socio-economic value of glacier resources and provide a reference for their development and protection.展开更多

The environmental pollution and resources waste involved with coal processing and utilization are serious. It is therefore urgent to develop highly-efficient coal resources utilization theory and methods with low-carbon discharge. Based on our long-term basic research and technology development, the progress in beneficiation, cleaning, and trans- formation of coal, which includes dense phase fluidized bed dry beneficiation, deep screening of wet fine coal, micro-bubble flotation column separation, molecular coal chemistry, and transformation and sepa- ration of coal and its derivatives into value-added chemicals under mild conditions, is discussed.展开更多
